Am I the only one that can't stand him?
He dresses in a head to toe leotard, he doesn't even have sexy eyes to lustfully look into unless you want to have your head blown off.
He's boring and monotone with no sense of humor.
And the worst part of it is he runs every single X team there is.
No matter what book I pick up I can't escape himhe's always there.
So how does everyone else feel about Scott Yawn Summers?
Oh, and Emma's English? News to me.
Cyclops
Character » Cyclops appears in 11206 issues.
The first X-Man, Scott Summers possesses the mutant ability to fire powerful concussive blasts through his eyes that act as a portal to another dimension full of the force that makes up his optic blast. He is visually distinctive for the ruby quartz visor he wears to control his devastating power. A born leader, Cyclops succeeded his mentor Professor X to command the X-Men.
Cyclops/Scott Summers
Cyclops rules. Not only is he a skilled fighter, he also holds an extreme amount of power in his eyes that he constantly has to worry about for fear of it unleashing and hurting those he cars for. He is looked and and considered one of Marvel's best Team Leaders, or Field Leaders. He is supposed to be the boyscout, that is part of who he is. Now he has been thrown into the role of Mutant 'leader' or spokesman for an entire race. Not to mention having one messed up love life to deal with all while me manages a team and leads them. On top of his former teacher/mentor being not what he really portrayed. Also we throw onto this that he has had Mr Sinister plague his life since he was in school.

So? He still has no personality. Toad's a green freak with a tongue only a Hentai chick would appreciate and he still makes us laugh.
Cyclops is the man. Very few comic character would be able to deal with the things he has and not become a crackpot. People hate him because he's not like Gambit or Wolverine, but you what, he's not suppose to be like them. Cyclops isn't a savage killerand he's not a charm your pants off ladies' man. He's a guy who bears the burden of leadership. He has a focus and drive that very few characters have. People are such hypocrites. When Wolverine is off doing his thing killing up a storm, it's cool. He's the man. When Gambit is out stealing god knows what, he's cool and suave. But when Cyclops is making decisions and coming up with ways to protect his race to the best of his ability, he's a tool. Grow up, people.
" @Andferne: how so? "What do you mean how so? He has fought against his team on several occasions and came out on top.

I never said Cyclops wasnt a good leader. Hes just a tool.
tool | ||
someone who tries too hard. a poser. one of those chic's who holds the sign saying "Carson Daly is Hot." the asstard who goes to a rock show because they heard one of the songs on the radio or mtv. or someone who insists on wearing velour sweat suits. Avril Lavigne. |
thats uban dictionarys definition. The way I would describe it is...Stick in the ass boring boner face.
" @lioneta said:Still doesn't change the fact that he's a boring leader with no personality." No, you're just tool with a lot of extra stress. "Aw, thanks for caring. Still does not change the truth that Cyclops has beaten the X-men on a number of occasions. "
Which is sort of the obvious point of this thread.

I think she refers to Cyclops being a tool with extra stress. Not you.
" @Andferne: He leads yes, but not well he doesn't care what other people say to him. He'll say that he cares and will listen but then he does whatever he thinks is right regardless of others opinions. "You do know what it is to lead right? You don't have the time to stop and check, make sure everyone gets in their two cents and then go from there. While you are out in the middle of combat, quick thinking and decisions have to be made and that is what he does and excels at. It has been shown and proved for decades now inside of the X-men comics.

QFT
Now I understand this is a lot of scans. If you actually care to learn and know what Cyclops is capable of then you will take the time to go through these scans. Hate him or love him is you are unbiased then you have to respect him. Over the years he above any other X-man has lead the team the best, the longest. Out of all the Mutants in the world he was the one chosen to become their spokesman. He has lead them through countless wars and has his own demons to battle while he did that.

" @Andferne: Yes I know what it is to lead, I wasn't talking about in the field I think he is a good field leader I was referring to him just doing what he wants in the planing stage and not caring who he's putting in danger. He may be a good combat leader but he is a poor leader of people, especially one that is dying out. "You still missed the point of what it IS to lead. When you are trying to win a war, a battle or whatever. At times you have to take casualties, it is inevitable. There have also been a number of occasions where he has risked life and limb for his team. Cyclops is the best leader the Mutant race has because he knows what he is doing, has been those situations for years. Knows how to keep his cool and look at things from several points of views.
There is nothing boring about being a Hero, being a Leader.

" @Morpheus_ saidThis is when I would post the scan of her crying her heart out and telling Wolverine, or more like asking "Why did I have to fall in love with Scott freaking Summers" :P (But I don't have that scan anymore) "

We know Emma is for Cyke though...So, it's Logan taking a piece of the action here...Besides, you don't have the scan :P
Side note, this should be in his forum.

Didn't Rogue have a crush on him too? Scott was them an he get women on the low.

There was a comedic strip (I posted here on the vine a while back) about Cyclops in bed with Emma. He starts to ask her about this burning sensation and she just reply's Jean/Pheonix. Later he goes down stairs and see's Wolverine drinking and he also mentioned something about burning. LOL
" So this means I win right? lolNo, that means I'm bored to search for the specific issues, that Logan has kissed Jean in, since he joined the X-Men...

Gotta love McFarlanes art (below), and Jean's...back (second from above). By the by, Logan wasn't at the wedding, right?

Totally agree w/ you. I just never put it out there before. There are so many that like him.
They should have killed him off & let Jean live.
I loved the crack in the jaw he took from Wolverine in X-Force #1. He's going to loose it one day directing all those teams.
